At the Regent's Palace, as soon as Dongli Lu Cang dismounted, Mingyi rushed forward and said to him, "My lord, something terrible has happened! The Princess Consort has gone to attend the Peony Flower Festival hosted by the Eldest Princess."
"Why would she attend the flower fair?" Dong Li Lu Cang asked, puzzled. He knew that the flower fair organized by Princess Dong Li Yue was a disguised matchmaking event.
But Yunzhi is already engaged, so why would she attend?
"I investigated and found that it was Princess Langhua who deliberately sent the invitation. It is said that she wanted to make the princess look bad at the flower fair."
"Who gave her the audacity to show my princess such a thing?" Dongli Lu Cang sneered, turned around and mounted his horse again, saying, "Let's go, let's go to the Princess's residence."
If anyone dares to mess with him, then don't blame him for showing no mercy.
At the Princess's residence, Shi Qingyun stopped Yunzhi and said, "Regent's Consort, you think you can just leave after harming Langhua? What do you think my Princess's residence is?"
Shi Qingyun's attitude—that she wouldn't leave until she gave him an explanation—made Yunzhi laugh in exasperation.
She glanced at him indifferently, noticing the resemblance between him and Princess Langhua, and realized that he must be Princess Langhua's full brother.
"Young Master Shi, you can eat as much as you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You say I harmed Princess Langhua, where's the evidence? Even the Dali Temple needs evidence to solve cases. You don't want to pin the crime on me without any proof, do you?"
"Let me tell you, I won't take the blame for this. You have to bear the consequences of your own actions. Princess Langhua is reaping what she sowed, it has nothing to do with me. I advise you to get to the bottom of this before you speak, or don't blame me for not giving the Princess any face."
"What a sharp tongue you have! You're the one who harmed Langhua, yet you still won't admit it. Evidence, my words are the evidence. You must give the Princess's Mansion an explanation today, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"How do you intend to be impolite to my princess?" A cold voice rang out behind them, startling them. Turning around, they saw Dongli Lu Cang had appeared behind them at some point.
Upon seeing Dongli Lu Cang, Shi Qingyun immediately knelt down like a mouse seeing a cat, saying, "Qingyun greets the Regent."
After giving Shi Qingyun a brief glance, Dongli Lu Cang did not tell him to get up. Instead, he turned his gaze to Yun Zhi and asked, "Zhi Zhi, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, why are you here?" Yunzhi smiled. Although she could handle this herself, she was still very happy that Lu Cang from Dongli had come.
This shows that he truly cares about her; otherwise, he wouldn't have made a special trip to the Princess's residence. Moreover, judging from his appearance, he must have just returned from outside, as he hadn't even changed his clothes yet.
"I heard you came to the flower festival, so I came to see you." Dongli Lu Cang saw Yunzhi's smile, and a faint smile also appeared on his face. He looked at Yunzhi with tender eyes and asked, "Zhizhi, this mansion is a mess, it's not suitable for you to stay here. Come back with me."
"Okay." Yunzhi had no interest in this so-called flower festival to begin with, and now that this kind of thing has happened, the flower festival probably can't be held anymore.
"Let's go."
Dongli Lu Cang led Yunzhi away, never once glancing at the kneeling Shi Qingyun again, nor did he tell him to get up.
By the time the eldest princess received the news and rushed over, Dongli Lucang and Yunzhi had already left, leaving only her son standing there with a look of hatred on his face.
